If you can't get felt up by Trump any longer, why even bother?

Wait, what?

Same sunspot, even bigger flare than the one that caused the recent auroras. If this one had been aimed at earth it might have been... bad.

What Would Happen if a Solar Storm Hit Earth?

My grandparents' former home has a Wikipedia entry.

Distin Cottage is a historic cure cottage located at Saranac Lake in the town of Harrietstown, Franklin County, New York. It was built about 1920 and is a two-story, L-shaped wood frame single-family dwelling with Colonial Revival style details. It has a hipped roof with a clipped gable and dormers. It features a cure porch measuring 8 feet by 10 feet. It was designed by architect William G. Distin for his father, photographer William L. Distin.[2]

The cottage was rented by Albert Einstein when he first came to Saranac Lake the summers of 1936 and 1937.[3]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.[1]

Call me when they start making microscopic violins to play.

Who hasn't experienced the frustration of elevator malfunctions in their car mansions?

Nope, it was a car elevator. His wife did have an Olympic dressage horse, though.

I only buy regular dresses for my horses. The Olympic ones seem like a flex.

Yeah, but real talk - if you had both a car elevator AND a horse, how long is it going to be before you decide that "horse upstairs" is a thing that needs to happen?
